Proudly supported by Orange City Council, Bendigo Bank, Essential Energy, John Davis Motors, Woolworths and Orange Ex-Services Club the spectacular event was a smashing success and we are planning an even bigger and better NYE for 2012.
Featuring a live concert, rock-climbing wall, jumping castles and other amusements, loads of activities for children and the biggest and best fireworks display this side of the Mountains, the event will be alcohol free and all about celebrating the wonderful and vibrant community in which we live.
Delicious food will be available on the evening, but families are encouraged to pack a picnic, listen to music and take part in the fun.
A gold coin donation is all that we ask people to donate on NYE, the proceeds of which will go towards a local charity.
